Especially this year, with businesses and families and health being impacted by a pandemic, there is a lot of hopelessness and fear surrounding this time, as we inch towards a new year, some of us very far from our families and loved ones, so, I will be sharing, to perchance inspire; giving back, being of service, and finding ways to make this holiday season special".
